The summer social calendar is in full swing, bringing in a season of courtside viewings, matches and sophisticated outdoor gatherings.  Whether you're attending any summer events IRL, or - like us - just love seeing the outfits come together, one thing is certain: looking effortlessly chic never happens by accident. For those attending, consider this your step-by-step guide to getting courtside ready. For those admiring the style from home, see this as a little insider insight into what the week leading up to a courtside event really looks like. Now, let’s get seriously chic.

The Appointment Era: Your diary just got Pretty Busy

If you're planning to turn more heads than the ball at courtside, your preparation begins long before you step through the gates. The most polished looks are built in the week leading up to the event, so it's worth making space in your diary for those all-important beauty appointments.

Staying Pretty Busy means planning ahead, leaving yourself enough time to enjoy every appointment rather than squeezing everything into the night before. This is your sign to embrace your inner Type A, your future self will thank you.

The Outfit Everyone Notices

There's an art to looking effortless courtside. Courtside dressing is less about making a statement and more about making an impression. "Confidence is the best accessory." - Vivienne Westwood. Sound familiar? If not, we advise you familiarise yourself with the Odd Muse effect.

Clean tailoring, elevated fabrics and flattering silhouettes create outfits that feel just as relevant today as they will next season. The Odd Muse philosophy to be precise.

Don’t forget the plus ones

A great outfit is only half the story. Accessories are the difference between getting dressed and getting noticed. One piece we're particularly obsessed with? Isobel Lorna's tennis racket-shaped bag. It's playful, polished and made for courtside moments. 

A stunning outfit will always turn heads. Thoughtful accessories make people remember it.

That's the formula for effortless courtside dressing, and now the Final Serve. Choose pieces you'll wear again and again, invest in the details that make you feel your best and remember that confidence will always be your best accessory. 

Psst… Did you notice any exclusive pieces courtside?
